The Queen's State of Instery is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.348 billion Insteryians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong Insteryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion betales a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,899 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government is avowedly atheist, the Instery Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and Instery has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Instery's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Instery is ranked 201,803^rd in the world and 7^th in Nassau for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
